Introductory workshop for Bazel

The code base

This is the Cookie Machine project. It implements a simple HTTP API for ordering cookies, and querying the status of a cookie order. It consists of a client written in C, a server written in C++, and a simple integration test to demonstrate use of the API.

The actual code here does not matter. It only serves as an example code base which we can build with Bazel.

Use the devcontainer inside VS Code

Start VS Code in this project directory. VS Code should automatically recognize the devcontainer configuration from .devcontainer/devcontainer.json and offer to start the project inside the devcontainer. Accept this. Once the devcontainer is started (there is a "Dev Container" log/terminal where you can watch its progress), you can then open a bash terminal inside VS Code to navigate and run commands inside the devcontainer. Skip to the section following the next to verify that you have a working development environment.

Run the devcontainer outside VS Code

Run the following command from the root of the repository:

./enter-docker.sh

Verify working development environment

Run this command inside the docker container to verify that you have a working development environment:

bazel --version

This should report back bazel 7.3.1.

Devcontainer Compatibility

The devcontainer is built for the linux/amd64 platform. To use it, your container runtime (i.e. Docker, Podman or similar) must be able to run linux/amd64 container images. More resource on this:

If you have problems running the prepared devcontainer, you may have a go at building you own (you might also have to make changes to the Dockerfile):

./build-and-enter-docker.sh
